MINISTER FOR HEALTH, EDUCATION AND THE ARTS
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NUMBER 231
Community Development Fund
MR BERRY - asked the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts upon notice on 15 August 1990: In your portfolio areas, how much of the Community Development Fund has been allocated and how much remains.
MR HUMPHRIES - the answer to the members question is:
In 1989-90 the following allocations were made from the Community Development Fund for Health and the Arts components of the Ministers portfolio:
Health
An allocation of $874 291 was made and all grants were paid out in full.
Arts
Allocations were made:
- $1.681 million for grants to the private sector
- $0.796 million for grants to the public sector
- $2 million for capital advances, loans and grants to the private sector.
During the year total expenditure incurred was:
- $1 673 million in grants to the private sector leaving a balance against the original allocation of $8 000
- $0.796 million in grants to the public sector
leaving no remaining funds
- $0.266 million in capital advances, loans and grants to the private sector leaving a balance against the original allocation of $1.734 million.
These funds have been set aside to purchase studio space for visual artists and for upgrading of the Childers Street Theatre. Of the $1.734 million, $1.487 million is to be expended by 31 December 1990 and the remainder by 30 June 1991. Properties for studio space for visual artists have been identified. However, the sponsoring body, Australian National Capital-Artists (ANCA), has experienced unforeseen delays in finalising arrangements for the purchase of the properties.
